And I badly need to get a true keeper D. When you release two out of three keepers D's from last season you know that you're in a slippery slope.

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
This round looks way too close right now, it will come down to one or two blocks or something.

Apparently the site has been wonky for him too lately, that explains why he hadn't set his roster at the start of the week.
So if you still want to do it for us Manimal it's:
SURA trades Derick Brassard, NYR C to BBS
SURA trades James van Riemsdyk, Tor LW to BBS
BBS trades James Neal, Nsh LW to SURA
BBS trades Dougie Hamilton, Bos D to SURA

I'd pretty much written the week off after being behind going in to the final day. No thanks to me not setting my lineup early on for a night. Irony is, Hamilton and Neal won me the week.visualdarkness wrote:Bears beat me due to one more blocked shot, I'm psychic.visualdarkness wrote:This round looks way too close right now, it will come down to one or two blocks or something.

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
When I realized that I lost the goalie battle already halfway I took nothing for granted and predicted one or two blocks being the decider, and I was correct. Yeah, the trade would have given me the win, but barely. Well I wanted tougher battles and I got one.

Aargh! I've lost Patrick Kane to injury! They say 6-10 weeks, so he's likely gone the rest of the MHL year

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
And here I thought I made a smart move picking up Neuvirth on waivers... From starter with lots of shots against (meaning saves) into a backup
I barely lost last gameweek. Had Jonathan Quick played his whole game, then I would have won

I had a claim on him too and was surprised that he wasn't in my lineup when I came home. Dodged a bullet there!Manimal wrote:And here I thought I made a smart move picking up Neuvirth on waivers... From starter with lots of shots against (meaning saves) into a backup![]()

What did you do to Neal? That guy haven't done anything since we traded and that even affects Rinne for me.getzlaf15 wrote:I'd pretty much written the week off after being behind going in to the final day.

You beat us Corithias by pure offensive power. I don't like how I'm the only top team losing this round...

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
Such a close final day of the season, I don't dare to bet on this one!
I'm currently slightly in the lead but that is so slightly it's barely worth anything with so many games today going on. I need both Rinne and Enroth to start today, please please please please please please!

Re: Minstrel Hockey League 2014-15
It was a close one, I was praying that Perry wouldn't score a GW at the end. Goalies won the game for me!
One question though. People have began to get players from the FA in the offseason already, are we allowed to this year?
